Anthony quickly composed himself the moment he noticed that his two companions were staring at him weirdly.“What's wrong?” Anthony asked urgently.“She's been poisoned with a slow acting poison that gradually kills the unlucky target, making it seem like a natural death. Please go closer to her and check her pulse again, to enable me properly scrutinize and diagnose her condition,” the system continued.Anthony quickly went closer to the woman and grabbed her pulse, his heart beating madly like a samba drum.“Hmm! Sneaky bastards! It's a poisonous chemical, methadizine, derived from a very dangerous herb which was thought to have gone extinct on earth. No one would even suspect it as the culprit in case of an eventual death because it was thought to have become extinct. Worse, it can't be detected by most equipment and indicators. According to my estimate, it was administered five days ago, around the time the hospital was threatening to discontinue treatment with immediate effect, a
Anthony coughed uncomfortably, forcing his food down.He cursed the system mentally, making it giggle like a spoiled child.“Why are you offended? You indeed had lustful thoughts towards her immediately you saw her new transformation. Your big brother even stood up to acknowledge the beauty before him,” the system added, making Anthony blush in embarrassment. Indeed, he had felt aroused when he initially saw Anabelle. But he had quickly tamped down his desires and reminded himself that she's just like a little sister to him.“Little sister, my ass! No elder brother will notice their sister's booties,” the system added, infuriating Anthony the more.“Shut up, you perverted system!” He internally cursed, making Anabelle stare at him worriedly.“Benefactor, are you alright?” She asked, hurriedly patting his back to ease the pressure of his cough.Unfortunately, her posture made her lean towards him, innocently exposing her cleavage.Anthony gulped down his saliva and his eyes wandered t
"So why did you tell me to bring them home? I already assured them that everything was under my control. If she dies in my house, what will people think? Damn it!" Anthony cursed, pacing around in his room."You're always faster than your shadow. I simply said that you don't have the ability to heal her in your current state. However, you didn't wait for me to tell you the solution before getting agitated. Go ahead and climb the walls then," the system said in irritation.Anthony smiled and sat down."Is there a solution? You should have just said so all along, let's hear it," he quickly said, waiting for the system to notify him on his next course of action."You have to produce the antidote, learn the poison fingers technique which can be used to stabilize her condition before you administer the antidote, and then use the golden needle life-saving technique to rebuild her organs. It's all a long but very simple process. That's why I said you don't have the ability, except for the go
"This is poison valley. The birthplace of ten thousand fangs Immortal poison snake, poison lord Xi Jap Cho," the little boy quickly said."Poison Lord Xi Jap Cho? Who is that?" Anthony mused, looking at the boy in confusion.The boy's brows furrowed, as he watched Anthony carefully."Aren't you from Cloud Sea continent? Aren't you from up there?" The boy asked, pointing to the sky.Anthony quickly shook his head."Oh? How did you get in here? Your clothes do not look like those from Cloud Sea continent, but I can feel a cultivator's aura from you. And your internal energy seems pretty pure and strong. You have passed the martial ancestor threshold, right?" The boy asked, looking at him.Anthony's brows furrowed.All the boy's terms sound like greek to his ears. What's a bloody martial ancestor? 'Hey, system, are you there?' Anthony asked, trying to reach out to the system, but he got no response making his frown deepen.Did the system bring him to another dimension and abandon him?A
Mo Lan looked up at Anthony, noticing his inner turmoil.He quickly paid the woman and grabbed their packed kebabs, drawing the confused Anthony away.Anthony kept trying to reach out to the system to no avail, making him feel very desperate and sad.The system had said that it transported him to another dimension during the times he learnt the other techniques. Which means that he was probably in another world in a different time wheel.However, unlike the other times which didn't take much time, making it seem like a trance, this time was damn real.He was here in his real body, in a strange galaxy and dimension, where the inhabitants were living poorly.And worse, it seems like there was no way out. Is this the life of power and luxury that the system promised him?"Brother An, don't mind them. Being able to get in here in the first place means that you're exceptional. So I'm sure that you can find a way out once you find what you seek," the boy consoled, as they diverted into anot
Anthony looked around in shock, the guards were wearing menacing growls, and worse, Anthony could feel spiritual energy from their weapon showing that it's a very lethal artifact, not a mere weapon."What's wrong? What did I do? Who sent you?" Anthony asked angrily, forcing himself to keep calm.Just then, Mo Lan's mom who had gone in to get them more rice wine came out and screamed in horror.The jar of wine slipped off from her hands, and she quickly rushed to the guards."First brother, what happened? Why are your men in my house?" She asked in tears, holding the captain of the guards tightly, while staring at him with her big, bright eyes.The man sighed, his expression softening."Bing Yu, I'm not here for you or your family members. I'm here for this spy that managed to sneak in here. He might have an ulterior motive, so we need to take him to the valley Lord for questioning. Just relax, it's none of your business," the man said, patting her arms."But he's my guest. He's just a
Anthony sat down calmly, deciding that he wouldn't bother himself much about the so-called execution till he meets their shitty and arrogant valley Lord.His stomach grumbled, reminding him that he had not eaten dinner."Damn it, those bastards. How dare they come just before dinner? Why couldn't they wait for one more hour?" He whispered sadly, remembering the delicious bowls of noodles, tofu dough with lots of juicy meat and fillings, grilled chicken and spiced vegetables which Mo Lan's mom was making for dinner.She had intended to make dinner with beef, but after Anthony expelled some of the poisonous gasses from Mo Lan's belly, she decided to kill another of her fat chickens, and grill it for Anthony's benefit, to show her gratitude; since she can't offer him anything else than good food and hospitality."I didn't even get to enjoy them. Damn it, and it smelled so good," Anthony cursed, holding his belly. The lunch he ate with them gave him an inkling of what a great cook she was
The valley Lord chuckled coldly."Indeed, a calf doesn't know to be afraid of a lion, nor does a newly hatched chick fear the hawk. Commendable, even if you die here today, at least, you would have made a deep impression on everyone present," he said with a smile, shooting colored gasses at Anthony.Anthony gasped in excitement, watching the technique being used by the valley Lord. It was obviously the technique he came for.He dodged the streak just in time, while throwing his fists towards the valley Lord, reflecting his attacks back to him. But rather than hurt him, he simply inhaled the toxins back into his body."Amazing! Such a great technique. No wonder you're not willing to share it with anybody. However, I must learn this technique today, old cross eyed geezer," Anthony mocked, running round the hall while avoiding the man's attack.This continued for an hour, infuriating the valley Lord.Rather than kill Anthony, he only ended up damaging the ancestral hall severely while ki
